IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,533, dated January 18, 1876; application filed October 20, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY WELLINGTON, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain Improvementsin Vapor- Burners, of which the following is a specification This invention pertains chiefly to the construction and combination of the burner proper with the vaporizing-chamber, whereby a simplicity of construction is obtained, with an increased efficiency of action and the invention consists in making the burner and the carbonizing-chamber of separate pieces of metal from the vaporizingchamber or tubes where the liquids are vaporizing, and then combin: ing them together by simply clasping one upon the other, so as to unite them firmly together, as will hereinafter appear.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the burner complete, and as attached to the tube leading to the reservoir. Fig. 2 is a section of the same. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the burner proper before it is attached to the vaporizing--tubes, and Fig. 4 is a plan of the same, as seen from above it.

At A is represented the frame proper of the burner, or that portion which is attached to the supply-tube, as at B, which leads to the reservoir holding the liquid hydrocarbons, and which supply is controlled by a stop-cock, as at 0. Through the top, and one side and bottom of said frame, there are holes drilled, as at d 01 61 to conduct the fluids to be wtporized around the burner down to the valve or cook, at E, which is provided with a stem for turning it some distance below, as shown at F. Fig. 1. Around said stem is also fastened a cup, as at G, to hold sufficient fluid for startin g the vaporizing action. The burner proper, and the chamber in which the air and the vapor are combined, are formed of three parts or pieces of metal, as shown at H, K, and L. The part H is cast in the form of a disk, with two lugs, as at h h, which are for the purpose of fastening it firmly upon the frame, as shown at Fig. l, where said lugs are bent around the upper bar "of the frame, and thereby hold it in close contact with that portion of the vaporizing-chamber. On the under side of said disk H is formed a recess, into which is shield is a tube, L, which extends down to near the lower bar of the frame A, and immediately over the valvewhere the gas is permitted to' flow from the vaporizing tube or chamber, and said tube L serves to conduct the vapor, and the air which combines with it, up to the cavity in the disk H, from which they escape through the jet, to give light and heat, as desired. The tube L may be: raised or lowered, as desired, to admit a greater or less quantity of air to the carbonizing-chamher in the disk H. The holes d d in the frame A are stopped by the screw-pins, as at 10 p, and may be easily removed to clean out the tubes whenever they may become clogged.

Such a burner is admirably adapted for use in the open air, as about market-stands, 850.,

as it gives a great amount of light and cannot be blown out by the wind, and it also serves as a most excellent heater for'cooking pur-' poses, and by this construction is very cheaply and easily made, and as easily kept in working order.

1 therefore claim- 1. In a vapor-burner, the combination of the disk H with the frame A, by means of the lugs h h, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the disk H, secured to the frame A by lugs h h, with the plate It, and adjustable open tube L, leading from the vapor-exit to the burner, substantially as de scribed.
